Diesel Prices Continue to Edge Higher

After a very active month of hurricanes, American diesel prices continue to move higher, but now at a much slower pace.  According to AAA the national average for a gallon of diesel increased one cent in the past week to $2.72, Washington’s average increased one cent to $3.10 a gallon, while Oregon’s rate, held steady at $2.93.  Despite that slight increase in diesel prices, gasoline prices edged down, around 5-6 cents in the past week.

Here are some of the lowest diesel prices we could find across the Inland Northwest:

• $2.99 a gallon in the Tri-Cities
• $2.99 a gallon in Walla Walla
• $2.97 a gallon in Yakima
• $2.98 a gallon in Wenatchee
• $3.19 a gallon in Quincy
• $2.96 a gallon in Moses Lake
• $2.81 a gallon in Pendleton
